Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Jaconé.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off, but it’s not all clean sailing. The first few days bring some decent size, but you’ll need to pick your sessions carefully for the best conditions.

Thursday morning, September 3rd, is the real standout of the entire forecast. Jaconé is seeing a clean 7 ft swell from the S, with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE that’s going to keep the faces smooth. The combined energy is up there at 992 – that’s a good, solid push of power. The period is 11 seconds, a proper groundswell, which means nice shaped lines. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is the best wave you’ll see in the window.

The afternoon of the 3rd sees the wind swing more easterly and pick up, making it cross-off and a bit messier. It’s still surfable, but not as good as the morning.

Friday morning, the 4th, the swell drops to 4 ft from the SSE. The wind is light from the NNE, almost glassy, so it’ll be clean and fun on the smaller waves, but it’s a big step down in power from Thursday.

After Friday, the swell goes quiet for a few days. The 5th and 6th are small and weak, with lumpy, choppy conditions on Saturday, and onshore winds ruining it on Sunday morning – that’s a real gap in the quality.

Things pick up again on Monday, September 7th. The morning brings a clean 6 ft swell from the S (energy of 458) with a light cross-off breeze. That’s a solid, surfable day. The afternoon builds to 7 ft of S swell, but it gets a strong cross-shore chop, making it messy.

Tuesday the 8th holds in the 6 ft to 7 ft range from the S/SSE, offering a clean morning (energy of 825) and another clean afternoon (energy of 1098). The wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s not glassy, but it’s plenty surfable and the power is there.

The swell backs off a bit on Wednesday the 9th, with the wind becoming strong offshore, making it clean but the waves are smaller and the energy drops.

Thursday, September 10th, is another promising afternoon. The swell is 5 ft from the E, with a light wind making it clean. The energy is 609, so it’s got some push. This is a good, clean option later in the first week.

The following week, from the 11th to the 13th, the swell stays small, with waves mostly under 4 ft and light winds. It’s clean, but small – a grovel board session.

There’s a long lull then, with nothing to write home about until Monday, September 14th, which brings a very long-period 16-second swell from the S, but it’s 4 ft and the wind is onshore, so it’s a complete write-off. The rest of the second week is a mix of small, messy, or onshore conditions. The only real flicker of hope is Wednesday, September 16th, which has a glassy 2 ft S swell in the morning, and then a clean 3 ft E swell in the afternoon.

To wrap it up: If you want the best wave, you’re on the water Thursday morning, September 3rd. That’s the one. The 7th and 8th are your next best bet for some proper size and clean conditions. The second week is a write-off for anything decent.

Rusty.
